The All New Highly Animated Hillary Clinton

We all know that the rap on Mrs. Bill Clinton in the past was that she comes off as too cold and aloof. In fact, she’s often thought of in a term that rhyme with "witch."

Well, she is striving manfully to change that perception.

The wire service photos are suddenly now replete with the new highly animated, smiling, laughing, embracing, gesturing Hillary.

Such as these from her star turn at last night’s homosexual activist "Visible Vote 08" forum:

It’s tempting to say Ms. Rodham just felt in her element before a Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered crowd.

But she has been acting like this (with an emphasis upon "acting") for several days now.

Apparently the focus groups say that this is what the great unwashed want.
